Donations

The Food Bank & Clothes Closet is solely dependent on the generosity of donors. Financial contributions marked "Food Bank & Clothes Closet" go directly toward making resources available to our neighbors and are managed through the church office.

Other needed resources include:

Eggs

Margarine

Milk

Gently used clothing for warmer weather

The size of our feeding ministry is made possible through a generous partnership with the Lowcountry Food Bank. Through "LFB" we can purchase bulk fruits, vegetables, breads, meats, and dry goods for a fraction of their retail value. Your financial contribution allows our resources to stretch further to feed even more of our hungry neighbors. Thank you for giving! To learn more about Lowcountry Food Bank visit their website.
